Class 4 Evs - HARYANA
Different Lands Different Lives
The chapter 'Different Lands Different Lives' in the Class 4 EVS textbook 'Our Wondrous World' introduces Haryana Board students to the incredible diversity of life across different regions. Young learners explore how people in various parts of India live, what they eat, the clothes they wear, and the types of houses they build depending on their geography, climate, and surroundings. This chapter matters for BSEH exams because it builds spatial awareness, social understanding, and tests map-reading skills. Questions frequently appear as picture-based assessments, short answers about geographical adaptations, and descriptive inquiries about life in mountains, deserts, and plains.
